Hello everybody,

I think this is a good idea that gives another options and solves some  
design problems the library has. A central services avoid the  
situation where multiple applications install the same offline data.  
It does though also comes with some negative side effect besides the  
one you mentioned:
* Everybody is using the same style sheet
* No custom rendering (refresh, ....)
* Only map drawing - though the central service could be enhanced with  
further REST services to centralize routing calculation, search,...and  
map the XXXService APIs to REST calls.
* The current implementation is very OS specific (targeting android or  
iOS could be helpful, too)
* There is some overhead (which is the main reason I did not start  
something like this on my own)

So why not...

For me it would be interesting if we also could offer vector tiles?
